On one, two or three short-term rentals, this is negligible.

By increasing the number of short stays, you will increase the frequency of visits by your maintenance team, as well as the working hours of your rental agency. It is also possible that the guests will change over at odd times during the week and everyone will be able to accommodate that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, depending on the location of your property, this may not even be an issue. In areas where demand is high, rental agencies or concierge companies are aware of market trends. They have already taken the necessary steps to help you deal with these situations. If you can\u2019t find anyone to do the job, there is always the option of doing the extra work yourself. This is, however, time-consuming and difficult to maintain in the long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-choosing-the-right-rental-platform\">Choosing the right rental platform<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all rental platforms allow you to adjust your rates according to the length of stay. Most offer the possibility of booking a short stay, but with a fixed price per night, determined in advance. Your income for these stays will therefore be proportional to the number of nights booked and only to that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/en\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">OVO Network<\/a><\/strong> supports you in your entire rental strategy: defining rates, suggesting a schedule, identifying your objectives, maximising your income and much more.
